The man sprang to the clew-lines
and down-hauls. The tops of the three
pyramids of sail faded away, giving a
few indignant slaps, and the staysails
ran down with hoarsc rattle of the
iron hanks. Before tho gear could be
hauled snugly home, the squall struck
the ship with force that made her
reel; throwing her almost upon her
beam-ends. and half burying her amid
the swirling foam.
Let go every thing!" yelled the
master, as he scrambled up from his
cabin, and rushed to the wheel to put
the ship before the wind.
Away went sheets and hallards.
The canvas bcllicd and collapsed,
caught full again. and jcrked away
from the yards in streaming tatters
with roar like hroadsidc of heavy
guns. The helm was useless; for the
ship was pressed down upon the wa
ter, and held motionlcss, except for a
quivcr like that seen in frightened
horse. caused by the springing and
bending of her plant spars. Her lee
yard-arms were buried in the water,
and the crew, finding it impossible to
stay upon the almost perpendicular
deck, had crawlcd over the weather
bulwarks TO the outside of the ship,
where they chung to the channels.
Captain White worked his way along
to ono of the cabin air-ports, and,
smashing il in with his boot, called to
his wife:

Reach up your hands. You are small
enough to be pulled through the win-
dow"
Never mind me, John. Look to
your ship!' she answered.

CRIMINAL MISCELLANY.
Investigating a Grand Jury

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 23.-An un-
Usual proceeding has been been begun in the
criminal court here, looking to an investi
cation OF the method used in drawing the
grand jury some days ago. The jury COM
missioners each year select certain number
ofsnames, and each is placed upon a slip of::pa
per, and this in turn put into box, the
names also being kept by the clerk on sheet
of paper. When the present grand jury was
drawn the name of NJ. A. Spencer was taken
from the box, but no name upon the clerks
list was found to correspond to it Spencer
and the other grand jurors have acted since
then, and the election indictments found last
week was their work, a peculiar feature Of
which was the sudden stopping Of arrests. So
far the investigation has decided nothing.
The jury commissioners can not tell how the
name got in the box, although they think it
probable that it got there without evil in.
tsnt-smply through carelessness.

the Murder of Haddock and Say Arens-

Whose Wife Makes His Life a Burden
The Bomb Fiend Again.
Sioux CRY, Iowa, Nov. SS-The court
room was so crowded Tuesday that balffs
had to be stationed at the entrances, and
kept many outside. The occasion of this
was the introduction of new and sensational
evidence on the part of the state, given by
Benjamin Josephson and wife, eye-witnesses
to the killing of Haddock.
Mrs. Josephson was sworn first, and told
how herself and husband had delivered milk
at the Lone Star restaurant, diagonally
across the street from the scene Of the mur-
der, on the night of Aug. 8. She knew
Arensdorf, Bismarck, and Others, ana see
ing them gathered on the opposite side of
the street. watched them. After quite a
crowd had gathered the witness saw
Haddock, whom she knew by sight, emerge
from the darkness of the Columbia house cor
ner, adjoining the livery stable where he had
left his horse and buggy, and start across the
street. Arensdorf and Peters started out to
meet him, and when about half way ac-cis
came face to face with the preacher. Had
dock raised his hand as il to strike. when
Arensdorf shot him with revolver. Then,
in company with Peters, he ran across the
bridge toward the brewery, while others in
the crowd scattered in all directions Had
dock staggered to the sidewalk and fell
Benjamin Josephson told the same story in
all its details, although he had not heard his
wife's testimony
Then came a searching cross examination
by the defense, in which all known and al
lowable subterfuges were resorted to to en-
tangle the witnesses, but without avail
They clung to the facts in the case in spite OF
all efforts by the attorneys The witnesses
are Russian Jews who were driven from
their native land by the prosecutions of their
people, and the fear that a like fate might
overtake them here has deferred them from
telling their story Of the crime before
The state then put little Minnie koshnit-
ski on the stand for short time, when she
told the same story as at the former trial.

was elected first vice-president.
A resolution was offered and strongly sup
ported which authoris Vi the central COM
mittee to translate the best Prohibition liter
ature into foreign languages, particularly
into the Scandinavian languages.
At the afternoon session, the committee on
resolutions submitted its report The report
says, that the evils OF the liquor traffic have
reached magnitude that threatens the
foundations of the government Neutrality is
It political crime, the saloon "the enemy OF
society. the special foe of the workingman,
and the central cause OF the unthrift and the
resulting unrest among wage workers,
The corrapt use of money to con.
troll legislatures is the gravest problem in the
history OF the country. This use of money
for bribery is not even denied by the liquor
interests" The resolutions conclude: "We
maintain that the entire prohibition of the
saloon is principle sound in law and ethics,
and the Prohibition party pledges its coop
